I don't often comment on videos, but 1 minute in and this is what I want! Cruising the West coast of Scotland this is THE motor boat for me! No compromise, pure quality and a vessel you would pass down through generations. Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
The craftsmanship on this boat is excellent. A true gentleman's boat.
A 'grown ups' boat!
Love the woodwork on her. That cutlery draw and toilet door are just amazing. Its a boat made with love and care. Thank you for showing us around her Nick
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Classic in design, classic in decor, classic in woodworking the teak and oak. The helm very clever. The galley is unique in it craftsmanship. Yup Nick I saw the curved door in the master cabin. No sunbathing pads at the front to spoil the line of the bow. Engineering is as good in design as the rest of the boat.
Thanks for this video this yacht will become a classic in the years to come and thanks to the owner for commissing Hermione and choosing Dale to build this ship a mixture of modean and tradition.
You're very welcome! 🙂
This is one of the most beautiful motor boats I've ever seen. It's so elegant. Unbelievable. Thank you for the video!
Glad you like it! 🙂
WOW!!! I absolutely love this one! Even tho it’s brandy spankin new, it has that old boat charm and that’s worth its weight in gold! I love boats that have wood and craftsmanship. That head door in the master cabin is amazing! I loved the cutout railing going back out (didn’t notice it on the way in!) This would be a boat Id love to have in another life!! I’m going to dream about this one…and a champagne cooler!! But no mirror wave…
14:32 “big meaty shafts” is an interesting new catchphrase. I wonder if it’ll catch on as much as “tuck yourself away with a good book”? 😂
😳
😂 Haha I hope he "slips" that in again in a future tour!
The Dale Classic 45 is a very handsome boat, that has classic styling and seamlessly blending in all the conveniences of a modern home. The woodworking is spectacular, from the center hanging grab rail, to fiddled on most flat surfaces. (eg. the table top) The master cabin is a symphony of woodworking with its crescendo, the door to the head! This boat is just stunning. Thanks, Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I'm not a boater but hope to be someday. At 63 years old I'd better hurry before my sunset years evaporate at a high rate of knots lol. I've become emotionally invested in making that dream a reality and have done some research (including religiously watching this channel) to familiarise myself with the various makes and models and what's required from a novice boater to get on the water. This is definitely the style of boat that appeals to me. It very much reminds me of Hinkley Talaria models which I absolutely love. I did not realise there was a UK manufacturer of this style and I'm so happy I discovered there is. I'm also happy that they also do models with jets installed which will come in useful for cruising inland waterways in addition to getting in very close to a beach without fear of running aground. Still a lot to learn but I love it.
One word: Beautiful.
I think this is the best boat I have seen, a combination of classic design and stunning quality. All I need is another £1m-£2m or so. Hey ho!
Probably one of the finest boats you’ve toured. Forget the gin palaces, this is quality and style in bucket loads. Great video Nick. Give yourself a pay rise and order one now.
Stunning boat. It's expensive, but you can see where the money has been spent.
It's not anything that I will be able to afford, but it's sad that I think of it as cheap. I've seen similar sized boats that look like Star Wars prequel monstrosities selling for six million dollars.
It definitely has the 'feel' of a sailing yacht, but with the ease-of-operation of a conventional motor yacht. Being a fisherman and Center Console boat owner (Boston Whaler), I can truly appreciate the rod holders!! Well done...
I think this boat is truly superb, not the biggest but real quality throughout. Clearly a lot of attention to detail has gone into things,nothing is superfluous or an afterthought as it were. Not exactly a boat for long breaks but I’m sure you would be fine with it no matter the length of time aboard. The perfect boat to escape the every day world and enjoy feeling special instead. A great video Nick, thanks very much for sharing it with us all.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Can't wait to see the drawers 😃
Stay tuned!! 😃
@AQUAHOLIC 👍
It's definitely a boatsmans boat. Stunning little vessel. Beautiful tour as always.
Thank you!
Lovely boat and superb craftsmanship, the yachts an owners be really proud to own this. Super 1st video of year Nick. 😊👍
Many thanks!
British craftsmanship. Absolutely excellent! If you can afford it, it's near criminal to not get and sail one. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧&🏴
Gorgeous craftsmanship. Excellent weekender. Great start to the year. Looking forward to the next video. 🇦🇺😀
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
What a beauty!
And what did you think of the boat..? 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC Looked even better! 😂
Nelson have always produced the finest rough weather hull ( probably in the world) then add in the Dale quality design and wood craftsmanship you have a truly magnificent vessel.. cheers for this Nick I would really love to afford one.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Gentleman’s classic indeed. Solid, & magnificently simple but beautiful & practical. Thanks Nick......your kind of boat.👍🇨🇦🙏
My pleasure!
Hi Nick. This one reminds me of a beautiful classic old Bentley. Nothing too flash, but beautifully put together. Thank you. 👍
My pleasure!
Hi Nick. This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.
My pleasure!
I really like this one It's so simply made and it has everything anyone could need. so beautiful. thank you Nick.
Glad you liked it! 🙂
A beautiful and elegant motor boat! Absolutely classic lines and build quality to boot ! Wood work is a credit to the craftsman who produce it 👍….what an excellent start to 2025 💪
I'm glad that you like it 🙂
Incredible! Maybe the best boat I've ever seen.
This is about maintaining tradition and stunning workmanship, well done Dale!
Exquisite! Even the saloon stable door is curved. A hand-built boat like this is something to hand down to your children and grand-children. And it will still be exquisite.
nice way to start the new year. expensive but looks great.
Really nice! I really likes these styles of boats, very classic. None of that hotel room styling that modern boats have.
Happy Friday and happy New Year nick🎉
Same to you! 😃
I absolutely like this boat! Love the solid Oak woodworking. Especially the head door in master cabin. Great job Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Simply beautiful inside and out, you can see the quality of the materials and construction throughout. It is interesting that the owner is a yachtsman as the interior looks a lot like sailing yacht interiors, I bet he feels right at home. Great choice of boat and a great tour Nick thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Nice one.!👍
Thank you!
Very nice vessel with care in the build and it looks fantastic. Massive thanks for the tour. 🍷
You're massively welcome! 😃
Absolutely beautiful woodwork ! I'm actually impressed with the wet baths. What a way to start the new year ! Happy New Year & safe travels !!
Happy New Year! 🥳
This or a Duchy for me any day of the week. Love it a lot. ❤ thanks for bringing it to us Nick. Happy New year!
Happy new year! 🥳
That is stunning, a seamless fusion of classic and modern. The master cabin is so beautiful, as is the entire Yacht. Proper job as you said, thank you for another great tour. Have a great weekend !
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Nice boat! Ingenious helm seat. Lovely oak woodwork. Nice amount of floor space.
Gorgeous. Thank you for the tour Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Excellent video Nick and Happy New Year 🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Happy new year! 🥳
Worth it for the master cabin alone. Stunning craftsmanship ! Thanks for the the tour Nick and Happy New Year !
Happy new year! 🥳
A real sailor...no generator! Not sure I'd go out to sea without one despite how beautiful this boat is. Then again, I'm not anything close to a yachtsman!
I enjoyed watching the video, the Interior looks great 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beauty and a sign of excellent craftmanship. The brits know how to build the best looking boats.
The woodwork is stunning . .
👍👋NZ🇳🇿🍻
Really like that one Nick wish I could buy you one!❤️⚓️
Me too! 😄
What an absolutely beautiful boat .. my days that's quality !!! 😁👍🏴
Hi Nick, Probably the nicest boat anyone has ever reviewed, the combination of the Nelson hull and the superb craftsmanship are unbeatable, that transom is really a thing of desire , but for me the cutlery drawer shows carpentry of the finest quality, a true classic indeed and reviewed in your own excellent style. thanks again .
Happy New Year! Glad to have another year of your awesome videos! This one is a classic quality boat, loved it
Happy New Year! 🥳
Thanks Nick! 😊
You're welcome!
Gotta love these Dales
Sublime. Simply sublime. Not at all flashy. The craftsmanship is world class and I bet she cuts through the water beautifully. Thanks Nick for bringing us this beauty!
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Now, THAT is beautiful 🥰
That was stunning! This is craftsmanship at its best. The curve on the back door was a work of art.
This boat looks like it will last forever. So much quality and comfort. Many thanks Nick
You're welcome!
Hey Nick
The craftsmanship that has gone into the woodwork alone is amazing. Not to think you can take this out in high seas if needed is great engineering. Can see why it cost is what it is
Thanks you for keep bringing great videos for your viewers. Oh and I’m one of them 😂
You're very welcome! 😃
Nice shirt Nick!!
Boats not too shabby either.😃
M&S finest! 😄
It is a beautiful boat.. love the galley and curve door on the bathroom ❤
Nick happy new year and regards the video as we say here in Gloucester “Now that is a Proper boat!” Thanks Malc uk 🇬🇧
Happy new year!
This is a thing of absolute beauty. The quality shines through. I love it
The bathroom door itself is a piece of art..... beautyful
Beautiful. Happy new year, Nick.
Happy New Year! 🥳
Nice boat! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching..! 😺
@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
Fabulous!
I think the master en-suite door sums up this boat perfectly. Wonderful craftsmanship, perfectly practical and elegant all with a modern twist.
This is a very properly built boat. Very classic looking. I would say these are in some ways, like smaller versions of Zeelander, but with higher quality woodworking.
Very nice. Gorgeous woodwork.
Fabulous boat the workmanship is exceptional. The double curved door is a hyperbolic paraboloid . Great tour. Happy New Year to Nick. 🎉
Happy new year!
Thats a proper boat. Craftsmanship at its best. Good job you didn't break that dish Nick; Thats the first set made in years. probably no spares. 😄
Thanks Nick and Happy New Year!🥂🎉
Same to you!
It's made of curves! Irresistible.
Absolutely beautiful! Speechless. 100% classic motor yacht. Thanks Nick for the tour 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
A fabulous boat, thankyou
You're welcome!
Stunning craftsmanship ❤. Only minus for me is that both heads are wet rooms. Maybe owner specification? At least one separate shower is a must when spending £1.4m
Yes, I agree needs a separate shower!!!
It's like a Rolls Royce! If you can have such a lbudget than you want something special like this Dale. 😍
What a way to start 2025!
One of the absolutely nicest 45 in the world
Surprised she doesnt cost more
So nice to see a boat not encompassed in sunbathing layout pads. I want this boat
A fine gentlemans yacht, with a lot of practicality and good seakeeping🙂 I think I am old enough to love it too😆 Thanks for the tour😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
What a lovely boat. The exquisite woodwork and overall build quality make this worth the money. I would spend time just opening and closing the cutlery drawer !
Hi Nick, First of all, happy new year, may 2025 be a successful year at Aquaholic but also at Motaholic in good health And what a start you have for us in stock this Dale Classic 45 a yacht with the Wow factor for me its beautiful nice cockpit then the salon and bridge with some nice features below the galley wow this looks great the same to say over the mastercabine I am imprest Thanks Nick what a show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy new year! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
So, basically a Bentley on a Caterpillar chassis with Marantz electronics. Not a gin palace but a gentleman's cruiser, built to last no matter what. Very, very impressive. Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful looking boat. reminds me of a Zeelander
What a way to start 2025! That is absolutely gorgeous. It's nice to dream and admire the superyachts, but this is more realistic and something I would actually own.
That is beautiful in design and quality. I think I'm in love lol
Cheers Nick
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect. 2 cabins with separage suites, classy design and good engine. A classic from the factory
This is a beautiful looking boat inside and out.
lol I’m normally all about the larger yachts but I have to say I love this one.
Beautiful woodwork, it really is a beauty
Wow. Some proud craftsmanship on show there. A name to remember.
There was also a slight curve in the stable door. very impressed by this.
That rounded woodwork is amazing!! I’d only prefer a walk-in shower and dishwasher. Love it. Thank you Nick
My pleasure!
Absolutely beautiful hand crafted vessel, kudo's to Dale Yachts and their craftsmen.🙃
If I was forced to have a boat Nick. 😉. If you wouldn’t mind giving them a bit of money. I’ve heard you’re not short of a pound or two.😂 another great video
Fantastic quality and craftsmanship well done super little boat 👏👏
An amazing yacht with a great pair of engines. It will last for decades.
Very nice bespoke well crafted craft and lol nearly broke the plate and dish and love the curves of galley draws and the onsweet door im falling for this one
Fabulous craftsmanship. A beautiful boat.
Hi Nick (happy new year) that is a truly fantastic boat, and it is wonderful to see the wonderful craftsmanship still alive in today's world . My idea of perfection in a motor boat , and a great video nick. I really enjoyed it. Thank you, 👍🛥⛵️🛶🚤
